Rating Rationale

­Acuite has downgraded its long-term rating to 'ACUITE BB' (read as ACUITE double B) from 'ACUITE BB+' (read as ACUITE double B plus) on the Rs.6.73 Cr. bank facilities and reaffirmed its short-term rating of ‘ACUITE A4+’ (read as ACUITE A four plus) on the Rs.16.27 Cr. bank facilities of P K Construction Shimla Private Limited (PKCSPL). The rating is now flagged as “Issuer Not Cooperating” and is based on the best available information .


About the Company
­P K Construction Shimla Private Limited (PKCSPL), was established as a proprietorship concern in 1984 and reconstituted as a private limited company in 2016. The company is promoted by Mr. Pramod Kumar Sood and family. PKCSPL undertakes civil construction work and develops roads and bridges for government departments in Himachal Pradesh.
 
Unsupported Rating
­Not Applicable
 
Non-cooperation by the issuer/borrower

­­Acuité has been requesting for data, information and undertakings from the rated entity for conducting surveillance & review of the rating. However, the issuer/borrower failed to submit such information before the due date. Acuité believes that information risk is a critical component in such ratings, and noncooperation by the issuer along with unwillingness to provide information could be a sign of potential deterioration in its overall credit quality. This rating is therefore being flagged as “Issuer not cooperating”, in line with prevailing SEBI regulations and Acuité’s policies.
